Dy mail (out mm FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1929 -------- OSHAWA'S PRIVATE BILL The Oshawa city council and Chamber of Cam- merce, by placing before the Ontario legislature a request that a private bill be passed allowing the city to create an industrial area, for the pur pose of stimulating the settlement of industries here, has done a service to all the small muni- cipalities of Ontario, This fact was made appar- ent when the proposed bill came before the pri- vate bills committee of the Legislature yester- day, when the committee unanimously agreed that the principle behind the Oshawa requést was sound, and touched a weakness in the legislation which governs industrial matters, While the Oshawa private bill was not reported on favorably by the committee, the action which was taken was more far-reaching than had ever been hoped for. It was the unanimous request of the committee, and it was agreed to by the attorney-general, that the present legislation placing limitations on bonuses, should be amend- ed so as to remove the injustices. to smaller municipalities which it creates, That such in justices do exist was admitted by the committee, and cases were cited by the Oshawa representa- tives of how the city of Toronto was able to escape restrictions which applied to this city, * The net result of Oshawa's application, there- fore, will probably be to provide a remedy which will apply to the whole province, giving Oshawa the power to take more energetic steps in the securing of industrief, and helping the other municipalities of the province in the same way. This result can be deemed highly satisfactory to the city council and the Chamber of Commerce, and provides a complete vindication of their ac- tion in seeking to have a private bill passed cover- ing the points which were left untouched by the Bonus Limitation Act, CSHAWA SHOULD BE SATISFIED Of the comment of the Brockville Recorder and Times regarding the fact that the tax rate for 1929 has remained the same as in 1928, then the people of Oshawa have good reason to feel satis- fied. Last year the Brockville rate was 42 mills on the dollar, and thanks to a surplus at the end of the year and reduced educational estimates, the council of that city was able to strike the same figure for this year's rate, The Recorder and Times, in regard to this, says: -- "It is satisfying to learn that the municipal council has not felt called upon to make any addition to the rate of taxation for the year 1929, apd that the rate will remain at 42 mills on the dollar, that which prevailed dur- ing 1928." If it is satisfying to Brockville to have the rate remain the same as before, then the people of Oshawa have even more reason to be well satis- filed with the reduction of one and a half mills which has been made here, There are so few. municipalities in Ontario at the present time that are able to reduce tax rates that Oshawa is to be congratulated on being one of them, A GLARING LACK OF UNIFORMITY The statements made by School Attendance Officer Smith at the last nreeting of the Oshawa board of education regarding the operation of the Adolescent School Act in this community reveal certain conditions which meed to be remedied. In the first place, he made a strong reference to the fact that local merchants were employing boys under the legal school age without first making sure that these boys were in possession of the legal employment permits which are provided for by the act. In some cases, of course, this was merely an oversight which can be easily made right, but the checking of these permits is a duty which is placed upon every person who employs a boy under the age of sixteen. The most glaring matter, however, which Mr. Smith mentioned, was the discrepancy in the law for urban and rural municipalities. The law prd- vides that children living in urban municipalities must attend school until they reach the age of sixteen, unless they are given an employment per- mit by the school attendance officer. The law regarding rural municipalities, however, is differ- ent, for it requires 'school attendance only up te the age of fourteen, a permit not being necessary for a rural child unléss he or she is under that age. The confusion and unfairness which are created by this lack of uniformity is at once apparent, particularly in a city like Oshawa which bas suburban districts adjacent to the city, but legally in rural municipalities. Thus children on one side of the street at the city limits must attend school until they are sixteen, while those on the other side of the street, outside the city, can leave school at fourteen. This hardly seems fair in a community like Oshawa where, for employment purposes, at least, the suburban areas are practically part of the city. In such areas, there should be, in all fair. ness, an absolute uniformity in regard to the requirements for school attendance, this condi- tion which exists here should be brought to the attention of the provincial educational authorities with a view to having it remedied. PROTECTING THE ROADS It is a good sign to see that the department of provincial highways is not only constructing and maintaining the system of good roads throughout the province, but is taking steps to protect them as much as possible. The newspapers of Ontario are this week being used to make known to the public, and to truck drivers in particular, that 'there are restrictions on the loads which can be carried on the highways of Ontario during the two spring months of March and April, when the roads are in a more impressionable condition than at other periods of the year. The Highway Traffic Act, which is cited in the department's announcement, provides that during March and April trucks and trailers and horse- drawn vehicles with a carrying capacity exceed- ing one ton shall be limited to half their load during March and April. Penalties are provided for infringements of this law, and officers have been placed on the highways to see that it is strictly observed. The law is a good one from the standpoint of road protection. The province has a large invest. ment in its provincial highways, and it is wise that every possible precaution should be taken to preserve that investment. While truck drivers may feel that it:is a hardship on them to be compelled to cut their loads in half, yet it is to their benefit, as well as the benefit of all motor- ists, to co-operate in keeping the highways in good shape, and preventing the damage which might be done to even the hest of roads by ex- cessive loading during the months when the roads are in an unusually pliable condition, EDITORIAL NOTES One strike that seldom fails is when a man strikes out for himself, ------ Col.

Prior to the coming or the liquor store, the tax was paid by the occupant, but, immediately the provincial government took over tha lease, no tax was paid, That is an outrageous condition, Apparently the condition exists all over Ontario. THE OSHAWA STRIKE y (Stratford Beacon-Herald) 4 Strange how the sizes of stories grow or di- minish from day to day. To illustrate: Yester- day we read where there was a strike of tool and: die makers at the plant of General Motors in Oshawa, and it was stated that "another incipient strike with possibilities of its spreading was pre- cipitated yesterday when nearly 70 tool and die makers quit," ete, Today we read that less than a score of men out of the 6,000 employed at General Motors were involved in the strike. : So the first story was wrong to the extent of about 150 per cent. in the number of men in- volved. Looks as though Oshawa had a right to kick, Ee, - - Bits of Verse - - TRUTH "Ob, say, what--is Truth?

Barton, M.D. DEEP BREATHING FOR EARLY TUBERCULOSIS I have been talking recently about the rest treatment in tuberculosis which sometimes means one to two years in bed. This rests the lungs. Also about the treatment whereby gas is pumped into the chest, the pressure of which revents the lung expanding and it thus gets rest, However the prolonged rest treat- ment by lying in bed, or using gas pressure, is meant for advanced cases only, That is cases that would soon prove fatal if this treatment were not used, However, as mentioned more than once before, in cases of early tuber- culosis where the condition is not advanced, this rest treatment would not be of help because it is really the use of the lung, by breathing, and thus bringing air and blood to the part, that enables the lung to heal itself, y ecause after all, as practicall everybody has tuberculosis ri it is only when the individual gets run down from overwork, mental or physical, from little infections of various kinds, or any excesses, that tuberculosis makes itself aparent, Now the airing of the lungs by light exercise in these early cases has brought about rapid improve- ment in cases that scemed to be "standing still." Dr. M. J. Breuer reports twenty cases that had not been improved after some weeks of routine treat- ment--that is rest and good food, These cases were all "walking" cases, but all definite cases of tuber culosis, These cases had a very slight rise in temperature in the afternoon but never above 90°F, The treatment was begun by in- structing the patients to take ten deep breaths on three occasions, during the day, before meals, and out of doors or before an open window, Breathing was to be very slow, about eight a minute, and as deep as possible, This removed some waste or pois- onous material from the part of the lung affected, and really started a slight inflammation, This little in- flammation created a reaction in the tissues which resulted in an improve- ment or otherwise; some change must occur, In only two cases did the temper- ature go up. Exercise was discon tinued in these cases. In the other eighteen cases im- provement was noted within a week. Breathing exercises. were given every 4 hours, then every 2 hours, and then every hour, If your children play outdoors, breathing exercises are not necessary. If they don't, these excrcises may prevent trouble in future. Prepared by Rev Clarence Wilson DD, Ror Commission on Evangelism of Feder!

Paper novelties, tissue hats and a fine banquet itself, helped to pro- vide for the boys a real time. A feature of the evening was the radio broadcasting, which, operated from an adjoining room, served to keep the boys in a good state of humor all evening, This feature was made pos- sible through the courtesy of the Generator and Starter Co, Ltd, which provided the apparatus for the occasion, this co-operation with The Times being greatly appreciated. The young ladies of The Times' office staff and also those who as- sist in the general despatching of the paper under the circulation manager were also present, making the total number about 85. Harry Boyce, circulation manager of The Times was chairman, In a few well-chosen words, he welcomed the boys to the banquet, stating that al- though he has only been in his pres- ent official capacity for a short time he had been there long enough to know the splendid work the boys are doing, and hoped that the boys would realize the responsibility placed upon them in looking after the circulation end of the paper itself, "Gang singing" proved a fine fea- ture of the evening. Under the lead- ership of Robert Henderson, the boys certainly "raised the roof" and indulged in some hearty singing. Mayor Spoke Mayor T, B. Mitchell, who was a guest of honor at the banquet, was called upon to give the boys an ad- dress, but spoke briefly on ope sub- ject, the importance of the newsboy in distributing the newspaper to the city homes, W, Gilbert, of the Osh- awa Lumber Company was also pres- ent and spoke to the boys in a brief manner, pointing out the regularity with which he received his paper, and at the same time declaring that he did not know what he would do if this punctuality was to cease, "Building Circulation" A. R, Alloway, business manager of The Times spoke interestingly but pointedly to the newsboys on the subject of "Building Circulation." He discussed the problem in two lights, the building program and the cir- culation itself, dealing with the latter ffom the point of view of the getting out The Times in The Times office. He stressed the point that many Osh- awa rcaders are waiting for the pa- per from the minute it gets off the press, and the only manner it may be conveyed to them promply is through the newsboy. "Therefore," said Mr. Alloway, "The newsboy has rather an import- an job in connection with getting out a newspaper direct to the read- py) That the circulation of The Times has greatly increased of late through contests both in Oshawa and Whitby was another point mentioned. Mr. Alloway referred to these con- tests as great circulation builders, and appealed to the boys to consider them and interest themselves in them, if they would firstly, obtain prizes in connection with them, and secondly, increase their own routes. M. McIntyre Hood, the managing editor of The Times delivered a very inspiring address on "Keys to Suc- cess." He brought out many points which were cagerly grasped by the boys to show that the only way to ultimately become a suc- cess in life was to push ahead with a single will and doggedness which acknowledged no defeat. Mil- lionaires, said Mr. Hood, are not al- ways successes and the little lad who carries a newspaper bag day aiter day on his route may be building for himself the success which 'ulimately will elevate him above his fellows.

The stillness of the Arctic has been plerced by radio, Maintaining law and order the police have, during the past year, discovered that wife-beating in the far north is an exercise which not infrequently results in the extinc- tion of the beater. Only two deaths by violence have occurred since the last report, and in both cases wife beaters were murdered. Police in- estigators discovered that in both cases the victims were bad temper- ed individuals and that the Eski- mos had taken justice into their own hands, So far is the policeman's lot in the north from being an unhapyy one that the force has received tan- gible marks of appreciation.
